OMG..... Spike?
When was Spike back in the old country?
From some limey newspaper:
Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.
The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.
Professor Esmail Zanjani, of the University of Nevada, has spent seven years and £5million perfecting the technique, which involves injecting adult human cells into a sheep's foetus.

Great research! I had a pig's heart valve transplanted into me in 1981!! And again in 1990! (explains a lot, huh?)some limey newspaper wrote:The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.

I was referring to the stereotype that WVA'ians have relations in the biblical sense with SHEEP...
That is all.

And I jokingly said this:This is news?
Spike's been trying to breed the perfect sheep/human for years!
I do not recall ANYWHERE I said the words "public", "documentaries", or "TV."I guess Scotland and West Virginia have alot in common after all...

so, where does this guy fit in....
Lester, friend of yours?Near Raleigh, North Carolina, police seized a flock of sheep that had
wandered away from a home to graze on flowers in a cemetery. The
animals' owner, David Watts, kept about 80 of the animals in his
house. Police say he lived upstairs and the sheep were living
downstairs. Watts was often seen walking some of the sheep around the
neighborhood on a leash.
I'm not an idiot, but I play one on the radio.

APEX, N.C. (AP) - A man who kept 77 sheep in his suburban home was charged Wednesday with 30 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty.
David Watts, 47, was being held at the Wake County jail in lieu of $30,000 bail, police Detective Joey Best said.
Watts surrendered the flock to animal control officers Monday after police found some sheep grazing on artificial flowers in the town cemetery in Apex, a suburb of Raleigh.
Thirty of the sheep were euthanized because of various health problems. In addition, sheep bones and carcasses were found in Watts' yard.
Veterinarian Kelli Ferris, who examined the flock, said some of the animals' hooves had never been trimmed, causing infections that led the sheep to walk on their knees.
